| 2 Bedroom | $700-$900 | About 5 hours |

If you only need muscle for a truck or storage unit you've already rented, labor-only help typically runs $80 to $90 an hour per mover, which is often the cheapest way to get a move done. Rates also tend to run 20 to 30 percent higher during peak moving season, so booking outside the busiest months can help. Getting a few quotes and asking each company to itemize crew size and estimated hours is the simplest way to spot a better deal before you commit. Confirming whether travel time is already folded into the hourly rate, and whether there's a set minimum charge, is worth doing before you sign anything.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Shelby County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 35% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
